Using your dishwasher
Before first use
oLocate the appliance as per the installation instructions
contained within this booklet.
oFill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid dosage.
Filling with rinse aid
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse and it helps
to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes.
These droplets will lead to spots and streaks being left on
items after the wash program has completed.
oYour dishwasher is designed to utilise liquid rinse aid.
oThe rinse aid dispenser is located inside the drop down door,
next to the detergent dispenser.
oTo access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn the cap
anticlockwise and it will pop out of the hole. Then slowly pour in
liquid rinse aid, the rinse aid dispenser will hold approximately
110 ml of rinse aid.
oBe careful not to overfill the dispenser, as this could cause
oversudsing when a wash program is selected. Wipe away any
rinse aid excess or spillages with a damp cloth.
oReplace the cap and turn it clockwise until it locks into position.
oYou should refill the rinse aid dispenser when the
rinse aid indicator lights on the control panel.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher
tablets then you should still fill the rinse aid dispenser.

14
Setting the rinse aid level
The amount of rinse aid that the dishwasher requires also depends on
the hardness of your water. You should experiment with the rinse aid
setting, until you find a level that gives the best results.
oOn the first wash cycle, we
would recommend that the
rinse aid level is set to number
4.
oIf you get water spots and
poor drying performance, then
you should turn the arrow
anticlockwise and increase the
setting to the next number.
oYou should continue to adjust the rinse aid level upwards until
you get no water spots.
oIf you get cloudiness or streaking on your dishes, the rinse aid
level is set too high and it is causing foaming during the wash
cycle. Turn the arrow clockwise and lower the setting to the next
number.
Filling with dishwasher detergent
The detergent dispenser must be refilled at the start of each wash
cycle (apart from the Rinse wash program).
oPush the latch on the side of the dispenser to open the lid and
place the detergent inside of the dispenser.

15
oThe section marked A in the diagram is for the main wash cycle
detergent. Only one detergent tablet should be placed in the
dispenser at any one time. If you are using detergent powder or
liquid, you should follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations.
oThe section marked Bin the diagram can have separate
detergent placed in it for any wash cycle that has a pre-wash
element to it, however this is optional. This must be a liquid or
powder detergent, not another detergent tablet.
oShut the detergent dispenser lid and position the clip on the
outer edge, so that it holds the lid shut.
oAt the beginning of a wash cycle the clip will open and the
tablet/powder/liquid will enter the dishwasher.
Concentrated detergent
oThe use of the NORMAL program with concentrated detergents
reduces pollution and is good for your dishes.
oThe NORMAL program is specifically matched to the dirt-
dissolving properties of the enzymes of concentrated detergents.
For this reason, the NORMAL program with concentrated
detergent can achieve the same result as the INTENSIVE
program.
Detergent tablets
oDifferent brands of detergent tablets dissolve at different speeds.
For this reason, some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and
develop their full cleaning power during short programs.
oTherefore, please use longer programs when using detergent
tablets to ensure the complete removal of detergent residues.

16
Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is most suited to washing delicate and light
dishware, such as glasses, coffee & tea cups, saucers, plates, bowls
and shallow pans (that are not heavily soiled).
1) Cups
2) Saucers
3) Glasses
oYou should position the dishes and cookware in such a way that
they are not moved by the spray of water during the wash cycle.
oUse the diagrams above as a guide to the most appropriate way
to load the upper basket.

17
Adjusting the upper basket
Your dishwasher has an adjustable upper basket which you can alter to
the most suitable position for the items you are going to wash in the
upper basket.
The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by pulling the handle
on either side of the basket upwards until it clips into place.
Position 1 (upper position)
oFor accommodating items such as glass
tumblers and wine glasses. Wine glasses
should be placed upside down, so that the
stem of the glass rests in one of the
grooves on the side flap.
Position 2 (lower position)
oFor accommodating additional tumblers,
cups and mugs. You can also place small,
espresso sized cups on top of the side
racks. Care should be taken to make sure
that there is enough clearance between the
top of the cups placed on top of the side
racks and the underneath of the dishwasher
interior.
oPlease note that when the basket is in the upper position, you
cannot have the side flaps in a raised position. Otherwise the
basket will not slide back into the interior of the dishwasher.

18
Folding back the cup shelves
oFor easier stacking of pots and pans, the cup shelf spikes can be
folded down as shown in the image below.
Loading the lower basket
The lower basket is most suited to washing larger and more heavily
soiled items, such as saucepans, saucepan lids and serving dishes. You
can also load bowls and a variety of plates into the lower basket.
4) Dinner plates
5) Soup plates
6) Dessert dishes

19
oSaucepans and serving bowls must always be placed with their
bases upwards.
oDeep saucepans should be slanted, to allow water to run off.
oThe bottom rack has foldable racks at the rear of the basket that
can be folded downwards, to allow for easier loading of larger
saucepans and serving bowls.
Foldable racks
To make it easier to load saucepans, the
racks in the lower basket can be folded
downwards.
The cutlery basket
Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket. The cutlery
should be placed separately from each other to ensure thorough
cleaning. Long utensils should be placed in the middle of the basket.

20
1) Forks
2) Soup spoons
3) Dessert spoons
4) Teaspoons
5) Knives
oThe loading methods shown above for the upper basket, lower
basket and cutlery basket are in accordance with the
AS/NZS2007.1 testing cycle.
Loading dishes and cutlery
Household cloths, sponges or any other object that
may absorb water SHOULD NOT be washed in a
dishwasher.
oRemove leftovers and soften the remnants of burnt food in pans,
prior to loading dishes in the appliance.
oOnce the dishwasher has been loaded, check that the spray arms
can move freely. If the spray arm comes into contact with any
item, then you should rearrange the wash load.
oCups, glasses, pans etc. should all be loaded with their bases
upwards, so that water does not collect inside of them.
oCutlery and dishes should not cover each other; otherwise you
may get poor wash results.
oDo not allow glasses to touch inside the dishwasher, otherwise
damage may occur.
The following items are NOT suitable for washing
inside a dishwasher:-
oCutlery with a handle of mother-of-pearl, wood, horn or china.
oPlastic items that are not resistant to heat.
oCutlery that consists of glued parts that are not resistant to heat.
oCutlery items or crockery that are bonded.
oCopper or pewter items.
oLead crystal glass.
